Adult Learning Principles
This session aims to provide the participant
with:
o a background knowledge of adult learning
principles
o the ability to identify the learning style of the
supervisee and how to be able to build positive
learning relationships
Meyer-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
o 16 personality types (not traits)
o Provides a framework of different types of
individuals
o Each of these ‘types' have a combination of
personality traits, work preferences and work
styles
o Variations in peoples behaviours are normal
and consistent.
o Differences occur when individuals use their
perceptions and judgements in different ways
PERCEPTION
o The way in which individuals interpret their
environment
o Can influence how they make decisions and
solve problems
o Influenced by personal characteristics
(Background/ experience/ values/
expectations/ interests)
JUDGMENT
o Judgment involves all the ways of coming to
conclusions about what has been perceived
o People differ systematically in what they
perceive and how they reach conclusions
o They also differ correspondingly in their
interests, reactions, values, motivations, and
skills
MBTI
o The main concept identifies the basic
preferences of four dichotomies
oFavourite world
oInformation
oDecisions
oStructure
Favourite world
Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or
on your own inner world?
Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)
Extraversion (E)
o Like getting energy from active involvement in a
variety of events and activities
o Excitable when around people and like to energize
others

happen, and generally feel at home in the world

with others
Extraversion (E)
The following statements generally apply to you:
o I am seen as “outgoing” or as a “people person.”
o I feel comfortable in groups and like working in them
o I have a wide range of friends and know lots of people
o
o I sometimes jump too quickly into an activity and don’t
allow enough time to think it over

clear on what I want to do and why
Introversion (I)

memories, and reactions from immediate
environment

feel comfortable with

real thing
Introversion (I)

on my own

move into action quickly enough

see if my ideas really fit the experience
Information
Do you prefer to focus on the basic
information you take in or do you prefer to
interpret and add meaning?
Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)
Sensing (S)

touched, tasted, and smelt
o Concerned with what is actual, present, current, and
real

important to you

when experiencing things
Sensing (S)
The following statements generally apply to you:
o I remember events as snapshots of what actually
happened
o I solve problems by working through facts until I
understand the problem
o I am pragmatic and look to the “bottom line”
o I start with facts and then form a big picture

o Sometimes I pay so much attention to facts, either
present or past, that I miss new possibilities
Intuition (N)
o Paying the most attention to impressions or the meaning and
patterns of the information
o Would rather learn by thinking a problem through than by
hands-on experience

think more about the future than the past

know how I will use them

than as actual facts or details of what happened
Intuition (N)
The following statements generally apply to me:

about their meaning

and possibilities
o I am interested in doing things that are new and
different
o I like to see the big picture, then to find out the facts
o I trust impressions, symbols, and metaphors more than
what I actually experienced
o Sometimes I think so much about new possibilities that
I never look at how to make them a reality.
Decisions
When making decisions, do you prefer to first
look at logic and consistency or first look at
the people and special circumstances?
Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)
Thinking (T)
o When making a decision, you like to find the basic
truth or principle to be applied, regardless of the
specific situation involved

truth” of situations

mushy, or indirect
Structure
In dealing with the outside world, do you
prefer to get things decided or do you prefer
to stay open to new information and options?
Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)
Judging (J)
o Use decision-making (Judging) preference (whether it
is Thinking or Feeling) in my outer life.
o To others, I seem to prefer a planned or orderly way
of life, like to have things settled and organized, feel
more comfortable when decisions are made, and like
to bring life under control as much as possible

information.

Adult learning Principles
Knowles (1990) refers to the theory and
practice of adult education as
andragogy – an adult centred, problem
posing approach to learning
As apposed to
Pedagogy – child-centred, teacherdirected education
Adult learners
o need to be actively involved in any
learning process
o have a range of knowledge & experience
o Are responsible
o Can be self directed
o Expect that they can apply their learning
o Want to be actively involved in their
learning
Adult learners
o Can be guided to reflect on practice
o Positive and negative experiences
o Be challenged and pushed to excel
o Need to feel confident & comfortable in the
learning environment
o Are active learners
Remember
o All staff are adults
o Sometimes it can be difficult to remember this
– particularly with undergraduate students
and any 1st year health professionals
o All staff to be treated the same
